The Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday morning in Trump v. Vance, a case concerning the release of President Trump’s tax returns to a grand jury. EPIC filed an amicus brief in the case supporting disclosure. EPIC explained that President Trump broke with 40 years of precedent by concealing his tax records, even as he sought to collect sensitive voter and citizenship data from the public. “This is inverted liberty: privacy for the President and compelled disclosure of personal data for the public,” EPIC argued. “That is antithetical to the structure and practice of modern democracies which safeguard the privacy of citizens and impose transparency obligations on political leaders, most notably the President.” EPIC previously sought public release of President Trump’s tax returns in EPIC v. IRS, arguing that disclosure was necessary to correct numerous factual misstatements made by the President. In EPIC v. IRS II, EPIC is seeking “offers-in-compromise” and related tax records of President Trump and his businesses.
